We're also brought to you by the Ringer podcast network. I was on two Ringer podcast history. One was the Ringer Gamux show. We broke down a bunch of game threes and then the prestige TV podcast me and Chris Ryan and big was we broke down the latest episode of winning time.

0:26.6

A show that we really like, but also we have some issues with some of the factual accuracy, some of the stuff. This is sports. This isn't doing the we work show where you can just make up stuff. We have box scores. We have stats. We have game logs. How far can you go with this show like this, it's especially topical because it seems like Jerry West is going to get litigious about the character that they are portraying of him on that show. Anyway, check out the prestige TV pod.

0:54.6

We have a bunch of new shows coming up as well. The returns of better call saw. Barry the season finale of We Crash, me and Mel are doing that. And there you go. Speaking of me, Mel are ribbon.

1:09.2

Next week, Monday, the rewatchables were finally doing it. We're doing one of the great baseball movies of all time. That's my hint. That's my hint for Monday.

1:20.6

I have a hint for my Wednesday same game, partly on Fando, every Wednesday, try to try to nail the same game, partly with better than 41 odds.

1:28.3

We're going to do a Boston one. And I don't know the specifics yet because some of the prayer props haven't come out yet. I'm taping the sun Tuesday night.

1:35.3

But we're going to tie in Celtics next game to with the Red Sox Blue J series, the Red Sox somehow won again tonight.

1:45.7

I don't really understand it. They have basically one and half starting pictures.

1:49.6

Garrett Willock is my God. I don't think my God of 2022. Every time he pitches, good things seem to happen. He's the MVP of the team so far.

1:59.2

But yeah, there's going to be a Boston Boston parlay coming up on this podcast. Rob Boney and I are going to be reacting. It's later Tuesday night.

2:06.9

I'm going to be reacting to the three Tuesday night games. And then my guy Danny Kelly is going to come on for a new segment called 50 minutes or less where he gives some draft predictions in 15 minutes or less.

2:18.7

And then finally, our guy Jonathan Sharks. We're going to talk Dallas Utah. We're going to talk 2022 NBA draft. And we're going to talk about what's going on with him.

2:28.3

Because we get asked about that a lot. And he's somebody that is near and dear to our hearts. So we're rude for him. And you can go to the end of the podcast. We'll explain all about that. It is all coming up.

2:39.2

First, our friends from Project.

3:12.0

And I remember saying in a text something like, well, we don't need to worry about Sun's Pelicans. But then the Timberwolves game was a bust.

3:20.5

It was like, well, let's give that Sun's Pelicans that wacky game. It's a little interesting. Come down to the gate.

3:24.9

They have them book our puts up 31 on the first half and then gets hurt in the third quarter and all the sudden the young Prokoshis Pelicans who were like plus at least 500 on fan build on when that game.

3:37.9

Some crazy number all of a sudden they win the series is tied one one. We said going into the playoffs. At least I said I thought Phoenix was the favorite in the prohibitive favorite in the West.
